ABSTRACT. The article deals with current problems and prospects for mediation institute development. The article outlines the problem of the introduction and development of mediation in the criminal procedural legislation of Ukraine and the prospects for its growth. The article deals with the concept of mediation as one of the ways to prevent the eruption or resolution of the conflict by negotiations in criminal proceedings.

The author considers the opinions of various authors on the debatable issues of the mediation procedure implementation, in particular, the determination of the mediation`s place in the Ukrainian criminal process, the peculiarities of its legislative regulation, the reconciliation procedure grounds and order, the circle of persons participating in mediation, and the stage of the criminal process on which it can be applied. The author also indicates the expediency of introducing mediation procedures into domestic criminal procedural legislation. The article analyzes the procedure of mediation in criminal proceedings and enshrining it in the legislation of foreign countries based on the legislation of Ukraine and other foreign countries, in particular the Republic of Moldova, the Republic of Kazakhstan, the Republic of Kyrgyzstan, the Republic of Poland, and the Republic of France.

It is proposed to borrow the positive experience of certain foreign countries to improve mediation in Ukrainian criminal proceedings.

The author also proposed to improve and implement mediation in criminal proceedings by making appropriate changes to the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine and eliminating problems of the mediation introduction in criminal proceedings.
